A powerful God and servants gone astray

إله قادر وعبيد سوء

1. A powerful God and servants gone astray
Disputes in doctrines and seclusion

١. إِلَهٌ قادِرٌ وَعَبيدُ سوءٍ
وَجَبرٌ في المَذاهِبِ وَاِعتِزالُ

2. With lies the dawn breaks and days and nights
Troubles never ceased and will not cease

٢. وَبِالكِذبِ اِنسَرى وَضحٌ وَلَيلٌ
وَلَم تَزَلِ الخُطوبُ وَلا تَزالُ

3. If the wolf had no need that drives
It to hunt prey, the gazelle untouched would graze

٣. وَلَولا حاجَةٌ في الذِئبِ تَدعو
لِصَيدِ الوَحشِ ما اِقتُنِصَ الغَزالُ

4. The poor man's begging has no patience
That turns him from the burden of disgrace

٤. وَما لِذُؤالَةَ المِسكينِ صَبرٌ
فَيَصرُفَهُ عَنِ الحَملِ الهُزالُ

5. People struggle to survive until
From rags both weaving and unweaving done

٥. وَيَسعى في المَعاشِ الخَلقُ حَتّى
مِنَ الشِبثانِ نَسجٌ وَاِغتِزالُ

6. If your left hand, though sister to the right
Betrays, betrayal and deceit are assumed

٦. وَلَو أَمِنَت شِمالُكَ وَهيَ أُختٌ
يَمينَكَ ظُنَّ خَونٌ وَاِختِزالُ
